Beyond Average

So Trump won to be the POTUS.

A billionaire in his 70's.

He appealed to the hearts of Americans.

Despite his past accusations.

He was least expected. 

Hillary is a fighter.

A first lady,senator,and sec of state.

Her dream of leading USA is over.

Despite popularity,tides were against her.

She will forever remain an icon.

News have been flowing all day.

My focus is shifted,productivity lowered.

There is more to this election than a win.

A great signal is being sent to my heart.

A wake up call. 

Is it that others are born with silver spoon?

You can be great,your parents were great

Lineages that outlive each generation.

If I can be reborn,I'd choose where to.

So sit down wishfully?No!  

I want to outlive me.

'Here lies a great man' tombstone.

I can be the first in line of greatness.

I know not where to start or end up.

All I want is life of impact. 

On my knees I am,

God guide my pathways,

I am tired of normal life.

Let me die now if all I can be is live me.

Start the process. 

Open up my faculties,

To see things beyond meets the eye.

This is my prayer,

Read to pay the price.

Again,make me great.

The Only Option

You just shot the last bullet,

No target has been hit,

Only for everything to remain unmoved,

Or even moved to worse,

Be strong,it is the only option. 

Crises in your family,

Crises at work,

Crises in business,

Crises in your mind,heart and soul.

There is still a solution.

Be strong, it is the only option. 

No food to eat,

No fees,

No fare,

No hospital money,

This will not last forever.

Be strong,it is the only option. 

Searching for something worthwhile to do.

Deep into the cycle on bill paying.

Nothing is giving you a thrill.

Tried several things and flopped.

You've continued to search,not yet though,

Be strong,it is the only option. 

Mistreated for no reason

Convicted for mistake you didn't commit.

Ridiculed for standing for integrity

Denied justice for you're not who is who

Keep on hitting till it oozes,

Be strong,it is the only option.

 

Cheated on,

Betrayed,

Neglected,

Tortured

You will overcome,

Be strong,it is the only option.

Journey.

My eyes straight ahead,

Determined never to look back,

Along the way, I turn back 'slightly',

My eyes blurr,my focus goes.

And goes back to zero.

This is was I was,God. 

I feel funny,I feel strange,

I feel confused,I feel frustrated.

I feel wasted,I feel horrible.

I feel bad,I feel awful.

I feel,I don't even know what to feel.

This is where I am from,God. 

Many questions of why again,

I don't want it to happen again,

My will must be strong again,

My spirit must be strong again,

My body must be strong again,

This is where you've brought me,God. 

Alone the battle is lost before it begins.

You've healed me,

You've redeemed me,

You've restored me.

You've given me power,

Thank you,God.

That this time round,glue stick my hand to thy might hand.

Let my flesh and all that is in it die,

Let the last person I can trust be myself.

Let me forget myself and remember You.

This is what I want, God. 

My hope,my trust lies in You.

My master strategy is You.

My confidence lies in Your assurance.

My zeal lies in Your refilling.

My next step is Your insight on what next.

I will obey,I will follow.

Just reveal vividly.

This is where my all is,God.

This Life

No school for parenting,

Upbringing becomes subjective,

Thrown to school, teacher to teach it life,

In a system that only hails academicians,

Neglecting individual uniqueness.

What will they do if they get bad grades?

What will happen to the talents?

Who will tell them the deep things of life?

Who will tell them they need to focus?

Who will tell them their flesh is bursting? 

Before the answers could beckon,

The media start shaping them,

Their peers influence them,

The wind against the light is strong.

Only a few stand the test of time here.

 

Going through life without pillars,

Years keep on moving,

They now don't know what they know,

They do whatever without the why.

Life becomes a gamble. 

In their state,they meet mates,with their states,

They call it love,

They move in together,

They call it marriage.

They never learnt a thing from their parents.

10 Things I Yearn For.

There are things I wish they just flow in me naturally,rather than having to work on them.I will gently and zealously work on them for they are key to and beautiful life of success and joy.

1.Listen More,Talk Solutions & Positive.

I want to be talking when I am sure of the facts.

Talk when I can defend my point of view.

Talk when I can assertively stand and live my words.

Talk when I can clearly and articulately air my views.

Talk solution, wisdom,positive and inspiration

Otherwise,I choose  keep quiet.

2.100%:Energy;Confidence,Passion.

It's either I am going to  give everything I do 100% or 0 %.

I have come to hate partial results.

3:Now & Now.

I don't want to postpone any longer.

Time is now and now.Tomorrow is not part of accomplishing what was expected to finish today.

4.The wisdom to know:

The Why,What,Who,How,When,Where.

5.Consistency.

Holding on a little bit longer till it yields and continuously doing it despite the challenges.

6.Seeing The Big Picture.

Sweat the small things and see the big picture.

Life is huge and magnificent.

What is the worst thing that can happen?

Take the bull by its horns.

Take the risk.

7.Gently Adventurous.

Just going places and experiencing life.

8.Creative & Innovative.

Just creating extraordinary things.

Products and services that will bring a different breath of life.

9.Stronger Faith.

Staying steadfast to the course I am taking in life.Strongly believing a game changer is on the way.

10.Proactive.

Seeing far and acting accordingly.

The good thing is,I can stop wishing and just work towards acquiring those traits.

Keep On Searching.

Part of the lyrics of a John Denver's song says;

...looking for something,I can believe,looking for something I'd like to do with life. 

Many people can relate to that message.

Searching for something they can do with their lives;

You go to school play hard and read hard,but you wish the former was all what life is about.

In your youth,many of us  are still searching for who we are and what we want to do with our lives. 

In your formative years,we were taught by people who had studying nothing or very minimal knowledge about child psychology,and how to propel a kid into creative thinking.In fact,sadly most of the teachers in pre-primary school in our Kenyan set up,majority if not all do not have a degree in any field.

You go to school to study to become an expert in a certain line.

But the system is skewed,you land into studying something that you did not connect with your heart.By the mere fact of the placement body cut you out from what you felt was in your heart in the name of cut off point. 

After clearing school,you start hustling for a business or a job opportunity.

Luckily you get a job.

Unfortunately,the job doesn't give us a thrill and you realize you are just in it to pay bills.

You did not get the job you felt it's where you belong because of two reasons.One,the job market is constricted.

Two,you did not have the skills and or experience for the job.

Remember you were cut out by the placement body?

There is a very fortunate lot who realized early in life what they wanted to do,they were mentored,the resources were there and they are living the life of their dreams.

Or,even though there were hardship your talent was just conspicuous and you get scouted for growth.

But,for you I know you are at that point where you need to put things in order and 'have a life'.You are in the lot of many who are still searching for something they can do with their life. 

I still believe in you.

I still believe there is a room for you to create the purpose you want to attach to you life.

Refuse to be defined by your job,unless your job is where your purpose is.

While still in your day job,you can slowly build your reason for being here as your 'side hustle'.

Be Ready For The Worst.Hope For The Best

When the boat Jesus and disciples was in started being wavy,and the tides went higher and higher,the disciples were faced by death.They even forgot Jesus had the power to turn around things.By the time they were waking him up,they only hoped for the best.

How on earth could have Steve Jobs thought he could be fired from the company he had formed.When he needed it most,they fired him.

It was time to start all over again.

In the wake of heightened terrorism,the enemy can strike anyone,anywhere,anytime,anyhow.

Not to forget road accidents,natural disasters,divorces,....

Yes,we are living in dangerous times.

We are not sure what might befall us the next minute.

But then,will that limit us from taking risks?

Shall we then say there is no need of going to school because jobs are few and a lot of corruption involved in getting opportunities?

That many businesses collapse before their second year of operation.Shall we then say there is no room for us?

Being ready for the worst sounds like a very pessimistic approach towards life.

But then you and I know things don't go as we would wish them to go or as they were planned.Unforeseen things crop up.

When that happens what shall we do?

Why do we insure our health and businesses?It's because we can't rule out anything can happen anytime.

Be ready for the worst.Hope for the best.
